Abstract

Ophiocordyceps sinensis is fungus species that is found in the Himalayas and on the Tibetan plateau. It has a complex life cycle which gets completed in two-phase. Fungus infects the host in late summer before it goes into hibernation but for the mode of infection, different thoughts are addressed. The oral mode of infection and the ecdysis phase of infection are two thoughts that prevail in the life cycle. The oral mode of infection is predicted to occur while consuming fungus-contaminated food while the ecdysis phase of infection is supported to be due to contact of fungus to the skin. This paper will also provide certain knowledge about the feeding of caterpillars of host species to fungi. Moreover, the review explores the various preference of fungal hosts, fungal distribution and abundance, and fungal life cycle, shedding light on prevailing threats to the fungus in its natural vegetation.
